Using a calculated duration in visuals - is this now possible?

So I had a total seconds measure, that using dax I put into a duration of days:hours:minutes:seconds, but I can not use that in any visuals. I know years ago when I tried doing things like this there...

    Hi Anonymous 

    Based on your needs, I have created the following form.

     

     

    You can use the following dax to get the result you want

    Measure = 
     VAR TotalSeconds = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[seconds])
     VAR Seconds = MOD(TotalSeconds, 60)
     VAR Minutes = MOD(INT(TotalSeconds / 60), 60)
     VAR Hours = MOD(INT(TotalSeconds / 3600), 24)
     VAR Days = INT(TotalSeconds / 86400)
     RETURN
     FORMAT(Days, "00") & " days " & 
     FORMAT(Hours, "00") & ":" & 
     FORMAT(Minutes, "00") & ":" & 
     FORMAT(Seconds, "00")

     

     

    Best Regards,

Great idea! Exactly the kind of relatively new feature I was looking for. I got it to work with this method, but I noticed that in the axis, the scale labels are not appearing as the should. They all just appear as the max number in the visual. Are you familar with this bug, and any possible workarounds? 

 

Thanks!
